I like that, Chris. Especially the fact that we can make up our differences with our enemies by being friends .......... after battering them to a bloody pulp first.

It would be an interesting cinematic theme to have the clear message that it only matters what you have on the inside, yet have this encapsulated by a thick inarticulate musclebound beast that can only express that love and goodness by beating the living shit out of everyone he comes across. A bit like the Hulk really.

I have been thinking about who could play the main characters - Tony Blair is a shoo-in for the talking donkey. What about Peter Kay for the hero ?
